I would rather the gun manufacturers could only sell (by law) SINGLE-SHOT rifles, pistols, and shotguns to the PUBLIC. The military would have the automatics. And this would NOT be a problem because the ordinary citizens with the SINGLE-SHOT weapons would be able to outnumber the military so that just the repeater or non-repeater would NOT make any difference. Now the military would deploy tanks, but ordinary people could just hide their SINGLE-SHOT weapons and blend in with all the other people. The military could NOT just shoot every non-military person.
.........I state this because the people that would be against SINGLE-SHOTS would argue (incorrectly) that single-shot weapons would ENCOURAGE a military take over........I don't think so!
........This may seem RADICAL to some gun owners, but the NRA has been PREACHING for 50 years that, "It takes a GOOD guy with a GUN to neutralize a BAD guy with a GUN". Well by NOW the NRA should be made to "put-up or shut-up". Obviously, they just have that slogan to SELL MORE GUNS..........because gun violence in the US is about 20 times greater than in European countries. And it IS increasing and shows ZERO signs of stopping.
.........So, my solution MAY seem RADICAL, but at least, it IS a SOLUTION.
..........And banning military-style weapons will do ZERO because ANY semi-auto can be "accessorized" like Barby doll. So, the ONLY solution is to BAN semi-auto CIVILIAN purchases and do what I suggest or do NOTHING.......like for the last 50 years
..........Remember, Australia banned semi-auto rifles and their mass-murders went to nearly ZERO. And yes, my solution IS even more RADICAL than Australia's. But, US citizens are DYING from semi-auto guns and they will be dying at a greater RATE in the future.
